Investment Companies Quarterly Review - Q1 2021

It felt as though the rotation from ‘growth’ to ‘value’ that began last November picked up momentum towards the end of the first quarter. UK equity and property assets had a strong start to the year. Some of last year’s winning sectors, like technology, China equity funds, Japan equity funds, and healthcare, largely took a backseat.

Economic & Political Roundup - May 2021

While the past few months have been decidedly positive, April provided a stark reminder of the uphill battle that remains. India, in particular, is suffering terribly with COVID-19. In developed countries, where most of the vulnerable population has now been inoculated, normalcy appears within touching distance and many commentators are expecting consumer spending to return with a vengeance.

Investment Companies Roundup - May 2021

It was another strong month for commodity funds, which have led the way in market return terms so far this year (see the appendix section for a breakdown of how all the sectors have performed this year). Gold had a strong month, following a relatively subdued few months. UK smaller company funds remained very popular, with the ongoing success of the vaccine rollout emphasised by no apparent ill-effects, to date, from the re-opening measures carried out.

HSBC Multi Factor Worldwide Equity UCITS ETF – Global equity exposure with a little extra juice

Oakley Capital Investments – Southern Europe strategy plays to strengths

Oakley Capital’s recent investment activity highlights its ability to leverage its strengths in Southern Europe, where many industries are ripe for digital transformation and private equity involvement is low. A key example is Oakley’s investment in Spanish legal tech firm vLex. After investing in 2022, Oakley helped vLex develop its artificial intelligence (AI) platform and expand into the US. The company was sold for $1bn, becoming one of the few Spanish tech start-ups to reach unicorn status. This deal delivered Oakley a gross return in excess of 6 times its investment and an IRR >80%. ...

Vietnam Holding – Back this horse

Vietnam has largely overcome the effects of US tariffs and is pushing ahead with reforms to support its target of double-digit annual GDP growth through to 2030. While one of Vietnam Holding (VNH)’s comparator indices rose 28% in 2025, more than half of this was due to a single company that VNH does not hold. Despite strong growth prospects, most of the Vietnamese market is still attractively priced, with VNH’s portfolio trading at a forecast P/E of just 9.5x at the end of December 2025. This is partly because foreign investors have not yet returned in force. Progress towards emerging marke...
